Default Automatic Standby Doesn't Always

Automatic standby (after 20 min) is temperamental!

I'm using XP Home with no screensaver and no virus detected.

I use the Home/Office power saving option:


Monitor off: 15 min

Hard disks shutdown: 15 min

Standby: 20 min

Sometimes standby kicks in, as scheduled and sometimes it doesn't. I have
no problem with manual standby.


Help?

Thanks -

L

Check to see what background apps may be affecting standby.
